Which is why these things should be handled publicly only as a last resort and saying not to harass someone as an afterthought comes off as almost intentionally malicious.
I agree that handling things privately would be the best option. I don't think saying you shouldn't harass people 10 minutes earlier, when basically everyone listening has heard that message before on previous episodes, would make a different in the harassment. Only keeping it private would ensure there is no harassment
It wouldn't have stopped all harassment, but I don't think it would have done nothing. Even if it kept only a single person from attacking Wu on twitter, it should have been done.
